John Collins – Hibernian, Celtic, Monaco, Everton, Fulham Gary Caldwell – Newcastle, Hibernian, Celtic, Wigan Kenny Miller – Hibernian, Rangers, Wolves, Derby, Celtic, Cardiff Steven Whittaker – Hibernian, Rangers, Norwich Allan McGregor – Rangers, Besiktas, Hull City Jason Cummings – Hibernian & Scotland U21 Sam Nicholson – Hearts & Scotland U21 Leigh Griffiths – Livingston, Dundee, Wolves, Hibernian, Celtic Alfred Finnbogason – Lokeren, Heerenveen, Real Sociedad, Olympiakos

Thanks to the affiliation with Lothian Thistle such players now have an even greater motivation to play well, while those who don’t quite make the senior cut first time around get another bite at the big time. “Thistle have brought on plenty of players through the years and Hutchison Vale continue to provide a good standard of player to all leagues,” added Tom. “These kids are brought up with the right education. From day one they are taught the right way of playing football on and off the park and the people who are training them are qualified and speak to them in the right way.” Now Lothian Thistle Hutchison Vale stand just one win away from a place in the fourth round draw and an opportunity to play Premiership and Championship opposition (Thistle striker Dean Cummings could even go up against his brother, Hibernian striker Jason!). First up for LTHV though is a tricky trip north to play seven-times Highland League champions Huntly at Christie Park. After defeating League Two Montrose in the previous round, Tom believes that anything is possible for his club: “The Scottish Cup means everything. The players and the manager have got us to this stage. To win against Girvan then play Kelty, who were Superleague champs, and then beat Montrose – is just beyond belief. I wouldn’t have thought of that happening a few years back. “We’ll be going up the Friday night before stopping near Aberdeen somewhere. They all come with their shirt and ties on and we always put one or two extra things on for the players. After the Montrose game we took them for Turkish Baths to help them relax a bit. “I said to them before that win; you play as a team, you pass the ball and you help each other – you will beat most teams. That’s all I said to them. Play as you can and give 100% percent.”
